Face it – the GOP has a really bad memory. It became evident in January of 2009, when Republicans suddenly realized our economy was in serious trouble the day President Obama was sworn into office. They constantly ignored that the great recession had already been going on for over a year and anytime someone on […]
Think Progress has released this video of Mitt Romney in his own words. This is in response to Romney releasing his first ad yesterday, which can be seen here. In the ad Romney sunk to new lows when it comes to deceit: Then, the Romney ad clips a section from the same Obama speech, in […]
Leave it to John McCain to just pull any old thing out of his ass. The latest is the wildfires in Arizona, which McCain is trying to pin on illegal immigrants: Latino activists accused U.S. Senator John McCain of “fanning the flames” of intolerance Saturday after he blamed illegal immigrants for some of the massive […]
Remember this from the 2008 general election? In all the commotion over Hillary Clinton’s long goodbye to the Democratic nomination fight, an odd moment in the Republican race got surprisingly little attention. Presumptive nominee John McCain called a Phoenix radio station last Friday and confessed to a secret passion for ABBA! Well McCain isn’t the […]
Could you imagine a Democrat making this claim, instead of a Republican presidential contender? Now comes presidential candidate and “enhanced interrogation” supporter Rick Santorum arguing on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show that McCain simply “doesn’t understand how enhanced interrogation works.” Yes, he’s talking about the same John McCain who, in his five and a half years […]
There is so much spin and rewriting of history this morning that my head is ready to explode.

Don’t you just love a little domestic drama? Sen. John McCain’s wife Cindy appears in a new ad that harshly criticizes the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, and government officials and religious leaders generally, over what she and others describe as complicity in the bullying that has led to a rash of highly-publicized suicides […]
I haven’t posted yet on the decision by ABC News to use Andrew Breitbart as some sort of analysis for their election night coverage. I didn’t think I really need to say how bad of a decision I thought this was, but now it’s getting beyond what I thought it would. When ABC decided to […]
The wingnuts are in a laughing mood this morning over this “joke” photo posted at GOP2112. I never knew domestic violence could be so damn funny. I guess making jokes about a very serious problem that often leads to death and broken families is a key to their platform of “family values”. Maybe next we […]
You can tell it’s election season. Commercials are on the air and the robocalls are ringing off the hook. The yard signs are in full bloom along with the attack ads. But the biggest indicator that an election is nearing? More charges of Republicans using copyright material without permission: A company has sued Republican U.S. […]
